Variance explained by each factor, %	35.9	19.7	12.9
Standardized scores on principal components, mean (SD)
Hepatitis C virus (n = 3,277)	0.090 (0.897)	0.358 (1.063)	-0.173 (1.031)
Outdoor air pollution (n = 3,286)	0.055 (0.964)	0.033 (0.937)	0.368 (0.804)
Unsafe water (n = 3,284)	-0.145 (1.111)	-0.392 (0.841)	-0.194 (1.042)

* Attributes are coded so that high value pertains to greater risk severity.
